    Yes we are rioting because we should be able to enjoy retirement. We should not have to retire when we are physically unable to work anymore. We pay high taxes all our lives while rich billionaires pay next to nothing.

    I might have have misunderstood the tone of your message but it sounds like a weird flex. Good for you guys that you get to retire when you are nearly crippled.

      It’s not a weird flex, but I don’t know how you’re going to balance your budgets with that early a retirement age. Or maybe you don’t have the same challenges with the large generations retiring now that we do?

          Well, I hope you find a model that works. Though, with the benefits of having a job also being social and having a purpose, I think I’d prefer having the elderly stay on the job market is some respect on reduced hours and so on.

              In Denmark a state pension forbids you from working, yes. You have to pay back the pension for every hour worked.

                That actually makes a certain amount of sense. We don’t want people to have incentive to work into their retirement… if enough people do that then things will adjust and you will basically have to work until you die.

        That’s the neat thing, the budget is balanced if you follow the study that the government ordered and chose to ignore because it didn’t say the thing it wants it to say.
